I read that and not quite sure what you’re talking about. What low expectations. Outside of firearms how does mass tell you to live your life? Insurance? Seatbelts?

NH isn’t much better. Can’t buy tobacco under 21 anymore in a lot of places, only New England state without legal cannabis, some of the highest property taxes because the state barely funds education. Don’t get me wrong, we love it here but NH isn’t some bastion of freedom lol

I often carry an iPad on long trips and my copilot manages the device. GPS usually doesn't give you the big picture so that you can't verify that your route is reasonable while driving while an iPad will give you a good view of your trip and allow you to easily zoom in. We use Google Maps in offline mode of course.

I wish that Apple Maps had similar functionality.

It's always nice to have a second opinion on routes as well.

No place in the entire state where people generally converse in French in public. You would have to go to Canada for that. There are many French-speaking tourists from Canada. Immigrants / children of immigrants who speak French aren't exactly rare. However, you can't work or get by day to day w/o speaking English, I would say.

I drove my daughter to Logan many years ago and used voice commands on my Garmin Nuvi to get me there. When we got to 495 (from Rt 3), I noticed that it said that I should drive 80 miles on the highway. Of course that would put me in the Atlantic Ocean. I had her reboot the Nuvi and re-entered the route and it gave us the correct routing. In general, I will map out a long route on Google Maps to estimate time and to take a look at the expected level of traffic and then put in the destination in the car for the Nuvi.
